GLORY John 8:48-50

The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?"  "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "But I honor my Father and you dishonor me. I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge." 

Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan
Matthew 10:5-6  These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel."

and demon-possessed 
John 8:52  At this they exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death."
Mark 3:22  And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."

I am not seeking glory for myself 
John 8:54-56  Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad." 
1 John 4:6  We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
